In this course, students learn core skills that are common to almost all SharePoint development activities. These include working with the server-side and client-side object models, developing and deploying features, solutions, and apps, managing identity and permissions, querying and updating list data, managing taxonomy, using workflow to manage business processes, and customizing the user interface.

AudienceThe course is intended for professional developers who develop solutions for SharePoint products and technologies in a team-based, medium-sized to large development environment.
